JTG #36 Adaptogenic Herbs & Plants With Tori Holmes Author Of Beauty Water

In this episode of the Journey To Glow podcast, we talk to author Tori Holmes about her book Beauty Water and simple but effective ways to incorporate adaptogenic plants to support skin health.

In this episode, Tori Holmes and Journey To Glow host Caroline Frenette explore:

Tori’s crossing of the Atlantic ocean in a row boat
The inspiration behind the book Beauty Water
Simple ways to integrate plants and herbs in your everyday life
Adaptogenic herbs to support the liver and hormonal balance
What is panchakarma

Beauty Water

There is no better way to invest in wellness on a daily basis than to make sure we are drinking enough water.

Holistic nutritionist and wellness entrepreneur Tori Holmes has developed ways to turn the simple act of hydration into a self-care ritual.

As part of a timely conversation on beauty by ways of nutrition and supplements, she created 50 recipes for water-based elixirs that improve vitality, support longevity, and aid our bodies’ natural recovery mechanisms.

Tori uses everything from common herbs like nettle, mint, and chamomile, to supplements like adaptogens, chlorophyll, and CBD oil to create elixirs for everyday use. Make her anti-aging Tocos Royal Jelly Plumper to aide youthfulness from within, Lion’s Mane Matcha to provide cognitive clarity, or Ashwagandha Chai Calmer for a good night’s rest.

get the (free) guide

As a green-beauty junkie, I've been on a my mission to find non-toxic, natural products that are high performing AND fit my skin’s unique needs.

After spending thousands of dollars on products but not seeing improvement with my skin, I started researching essential oils.

I discovered 5 that targeted my skin's dehydration and inflammation, so I immediately put them to the test.

After 2 weeks of testing 100% certified pure essential oils, I noticed a huge improvement on the texture and hydration of my skin.

{Slowing down, tuning in.}⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
I’m always pretty slow to post here, wanting to be truly intentional of the words I use, mindful of the energy I put into this shared space.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
I don’t want to post because “I’m supposed to”.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
I don’t want to respond or jump in because others are doing so.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
I want to do what feels right: listen to my heart, honour my intuitive nudges and follow up with inspired action.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
In the last few weeks I’ve been listening, learning, unlearning and growing.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
I’ve cried, had uncomfortable inner shifts and even bigger realizations.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
I pressed pause on sending out Glowletters and, as you may have noticed, a few months ago I also pressed pause on releasing podcast interviews.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
It has all been intentional.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
This pause is meant to reflect on my deeper intentions for Journey To Glow and the direction I want to take.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
I’m reflecting and educating myself on how I can do better. (I don’t know what I don’t know, so learning and keeping an open mind + heart is key.)⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
In the future, I see (and I’m concretely working on this right now) more collaborations with black womxn and womxn of color.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
I know how hard it is to be a female founder although as a white woman, I acknowledge that my experience of building a business is not the same as a black or brown woman.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
So, in upcoming posts, I’d like to share with you black owned, female founded clean beauty brands wellness experts that I’m discovering and loving.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
(Yes, I know full well that that isn’t enough, that there is more to do in dismantling racism.)⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
I’ve also begun booking podcast interviews with black women who have incredible “journey to glow" to share.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
**This is not about tokenization or performative ally-ship. This is about giving voice and creating space to womxn I want to see rise and succeed.⁣⁣⁣
On that note, I’d love for you to tag someone you’d like to see featured here, on the Glow blog or on the Journey To Glow podcast.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
I’m looking to feature black and brown experts in the health and wellness field or founders of clean beauty brands.⁣

{ROSACEA MAKE UP} ✨ It’s been a challenge find

While I understand that many of us want life to “get back to normal,” “normal” just wasn’t working.⁣
⁣
Normal” was destroying our planet.⁣
⁣
“Normal” meant extreme poverty and lack of clean water, food, medicine or shelter.⁣
⁣
“Normal” meant overly busy lives creating anxiety, depression and a disconnection from Self and Soul purpose.⁣
⁣
If normal means unbearable traffic, smog, plastic killing ocean life, inequality, injustice, a politicized medical system, and small businesses struggling to get by while big corps get big bailouts, I say it’s time to end this “normal” and create a new reality where all beings (and the planet) thrive.⁣
⁣
During this time when most of us are quarantined to varying degrees, I urge you to stay in the discomfort instead of indulging in mind-numbing activities.⁣
⁣
(While it’s tempting to binge watch our favorite Netflix shows while snacking on processed foods — and while it’s totally ok to indulge for a little while — at some point, we need to shake ourselves off and face the facts: normal isn’t working, and we need to do something about it. It’s not our government's job to fix this mess; it’s our job to demand better, take a stand and take action.)⁣ ⁣
⁣
To start, ask the difficult questions, and seek difficult answers.⁣
⁣
"What would a new Earth look like?”⁣
⁣
“What else is possible for us as humans at this time?”⁣
⁣
“What is one thing I can do today to create momentum towards change?”⁣
⁣
Unprecedented times call for unprecedented thinking.⁣
⁣
It’s time to Marie Kondo what isn’t working in our lives, whether that’s an abusive relationship, messy finances, an unfulfilling career, or food and drinking habits that aren’t supporting us on our journey to glow.⁣
⁣
Let your inner wisdom guide you in this inquiry. Summon courage and boldness. ⁣
⁣
Imagine, if 1 billion people rise and lead with heart, what would our present and future look like?⁣
⁣
Be the change you wish to see in the world. You can do this.⁣
⁣
Caroline, XO⁣
